New York Cattle Market—May 20. 
At market, 1,000 Beef Cattle, (160 southern,) 130 Cows and 
( alves, and 600 Sheep. 
P'Kiciss.— Beef Cattle..— Prices are well' sustained with a good 
demand, and we quote for retailing sorts $5.50, a $7—all but 30 
sold. 
Cows and Calves. —The market was cleared at $18 a $30. 
Sheep and Lambs— All sold at $1.75 a $4 for sheep, and $1 50 a 
$3.50 for lambs. 
Hay—A good supply of loose at 50 a 62} cts. the cwt. 
Remarks. — Ashes, notwithstanding the late unfavorable news 
from Europe, continue firm for export. Colton has fallen } of a 
cent since the arrival of the Britannia, and is without activity or 
firmness.^ Export from the United States since 1st September last, 
1,186,846 bales; same time last year, 1,737,074; same time year 
before, 1,190,544. Flour and Grain remain steady, the late Euro¬ 
pean news not having affected their prices. Hay continues abun¬ 
dant and dull. Hemp seems to be getting more into demand. Mo¬ 
lasses firm,, with an upward tendency. Naval Stores the same. 
Beef and Pork, we regret to say, are excessively dull, and the 
transactions, limited. Rice and Sugar, in moderate request. To¬ 
bacco, quite active for export at firm prices. 
Money has again become very abundant, and plenty to be had on 
good paper at 5 per cent.; on real estate, 6 to. 7 per cent. 
Stocks have steadily advanced the past month, and choice ones 
continue to be sought for investment. 
Business generally,-very heavy through the whole spring months, 
and things look promising for the summer. 
The weather during May has been rather cold and rainy ; in con 
sequence of which, many of the seeds in low moist lands have rot 
ted in the ground, and made a second planting necessary. Grass, 
Wheat, Barley, and Oats are very forward, and looking well, and 
promise a, great yield. In the middle states, Corn, Hemp, and To¬ 
bacco, are equally in the advance. From the south, our accounts 
of the weather are not so favorable. Early m the season they had 
deluging rains, which have raised the Mississippi, and several of 
its most important tributaries to so great a height as to overllow 
their banks, and cause immense destruction on the. bottoms, to the 
crops of cotton and corn ; the flood, also, has swept off large herds of 
cattle and swine, and been the means of much other destruction. 
This, latterly, in other parts, has been followed by an alarming 
drought which has proved nearly as destructive ou the high lands 
to the cotton, &c., so that the seed in many fields has not come up, 
and in others the plant has been cut off by the worm, and made a 
second planting in many instances necessary. We can only hope 
that this may not be too late for a good crop. 
To Correspondents. —Communications the past month have 
been received from D. Lee, Examiner, J. H. Lyman, John W. 
Knevels, Thomas Spaulding, A Traveller, Henry A. Field, Thomas 
Affleck, and C. N. Bement. 
H. W. will find a complete description of the Pheasant-Fowl he 
inquires about, under the name of the Bolton-Grey or Creole-Fowl, 
in Mr. Bement’s forthcoming work on Foultry., We have heard 
them highly commended for laying, but do net believe them supe 
rior to the Polands. 
J. D. asks if we know of any pure white fowls with black top- 
knots? We do not,, and shall be obliged if any one can inform us. 
The nearest approach to this kind of fowl within our knowledge, is 
owned by Mr. C. N. Bement of Albany. They have white bodies 
with dark speckled necks and top-knots. We presume these, as well 
as the kind inquired after by J. D., are a cross between the 
White and Black Polands, and then bred as a distinct variety. As 
J. D. is curious in such matters, we recommend his experimenting 
in them. 
PREMIUM EAGLE, SUBSOIL, AND OTHER 
PLOWS. 
The subscriber having been appointed agent in this city for the 
sale of the celebrated Premium Plows, made by Paiggles, Nourse, 
& Mason, of Worcester, Massachusetts, now offers them at the 
manufacturers’ home prices. They are calculated alike for the 
northern farmer and southern planter, and embrace every variety, 
Cotton and Rice plow, Stubble, Sod, Road, and Subsoil. Prices 
from $3,50 to $15,00, according to the kind. 
The great number of premiums which these plows have obtained 
at the most important plowing-matches, and the universal satisfac¬ 
tion they have given wherever introduced, render it unnecessary to 
particularise their merits. They are made of the best materials, 
are highly finished, and combine light weight and easy draught, 
with great strength and durability. _ _
